What range do put him on to make such a big reshove ?
This guy is unknown so may be for a random player at 25$.

probably AQ suited, Ak off, QQ- 10's. maybe nines. he is probably a donk and doesnt know how to play it postflop and figures he has decent equity to spazz take it down and have some decent equity if we call.

Any reason you don't raise K10 hearts on table 4 when it folds to you in the SB? This seems like a good spot to raise to 400 or so and fold to a shove/3 bet rather than limp in and let him take control. Is it because you've been more active in the last few hands and expect him to play back at you with a wider range?

Can you explain why you shoved the 65 as SB on the table bottom left.
You have 2200 chips, blinds are 75/150.

2 guys have less chips then you, also the BB (1200) whose range is probably a bit larger than usual to "come back" because he knows he either needs to gamble a bit and think the guy on the sb( = u) might shove in anything to steal blinds or he gets blinded of.

Would be cool if you can make a stand here

Also, why do you shove your 97 with 3500 chips in there as sb?
It's the bubble, the big button has 6bb and the third guy on the table is around ur stacksize.
And that bb knows he needs to make a move else he get's blinded off...

Sorry I'm having a third question
Why do you shove in with JTs when u have 15bb?
You said "I'd only shove in with antes".. antes = 2x 25.. means u would fold without antes, but with antes just to get 50chips more?
Why..? And why the shove in, you are in no danger yet?

(Sorry, if I understand ur decisions wrong. I'm still learning to get better so some of your decisions are not clear to me yet :-)
I've watched all your windows yet and they are very helpful.
Looking forward for more !

Right on. I would actually rule out QQ since I think random bad players will make smaller raises hoping to induce action. Overshoves at this stage usually do mean something like AQ, TT+. It is not impossible for him to be shoving AJs, 88 or 99 here, but this early on in the SNG we shouldn't be risking our whole stack to find out. We will find better spots later.

No reason - I like a raise/fold there too. Just mixing it up there. Based on my hand, the options are definitely limp/fold to raise or raise/fold. I thought he'd raise me off a lot here because of my image so I like a limp better this particular time.

Even though I'm picking on the small stack here, his calling range is still tight enough that this is an easy shove. I would fold the absolute worst hands here, but would even shove 34o etc. We as thinking players know the BB needs to make moves at some point, but that doesn't mean at 75/150 he'll stack off with a weak hand with 1200 chips. Until we know more about this player, we'll take the standard approach and make our +EV shove.

Similar to your first question. These players won't be calling as lightly as you think. Also, it is the bubble and I'm just expanding the chip gap between us because I can and should. He is very, very tight in calling here.

I would actually shove in that spot without the antes too, because he is limping so much and we need to stop letting him exploit our position. You are right that we aren't in danger, but if we keep letting him limp and two on the button we are setting ourselves up for a slow downfall. We can't let our opponents use their positional advantage against us all the time. By shoving here I am telling him he'll have to mix up his play to beat me.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

The A9s? Bet/call shove.
